The Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) has commenced investigation into the Caverton Augusta AW139 helicopter conveying Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo that crashed in Kabba, Kogi State on Saturday.

The Agusta Westland AW139 is a 15-seat mediumsized twin-engine helicopter developed and produced principally by Augusta Westland. It is marketed for several different roles, including VIP/corporate transport, offshore transport, fire fighting, law enforcement, search and rescue, emergency medical service, disaster relief, and maritime patrol.

The AW139 was originally designed and developed jointly by Agusta and Bell Helicopters and marketed as the Agusta-Bell AB139, being re-designated AW139 when Bell withdrew from the project. A source in the agency told New Telegraph that a team of investigators from AIB had begun probe into the crash that left no one injured. AIB is the statutory agency saddled with the task of investigating such serious incidents and accidents.

Since entering service in 2003, the AW139 has become one of Agusta Westland’s most influential products; it has been subsequently developed into two enlarged medium-lift helicopters, the military-orientated AW 149 and the AW189 the civil market. New Telegraph learnt that the aviation regulatory body, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) had been notified as the accident investigation agency begins investigations in line with its mandate.

I was just happy for the man sha. It could have only bn God. The recent crashes came into my mind.

2. This new Cardiff city striker Sala case too very pathetic.

If you follow crash investigations on DSTV channel 181, you will thank God for this man. He was just favored sha. The moment you are up there, and anything goes wrong, not even luck can guarantee your safety but something supernatural. Much love for my able and intelligent VP. A very loyal vice to his principal and boss.

I still they imagine how this man from Sudan that call himself a President that openly Call delta state Apc Governorship candidate a presidential and a senatorial candidate, a man that raise another man hand in benue state Apc campaign tail be Nigerian President.

they should ask the cabals the reason behind the crash.

Osinbajo just be watching your back

, so there is something like this in Nigeria??. Anyone watched how the VP was rescued? You will have no option than to feel sorry for the common man if the VP of the most populous black nation can be rescued in a crude way

The only thing they should investigate is the reason the helicopter didn't crash properly.

This was a mere emergency landing gone bad -- and emergency landings are always bad.

Our leaders believe they can leave our roads in poor states while they use helicopters and jets to travel around.

Buhari did the same thing when he visited Badagry with an helicopter.

The irony of both men is that their convoys will travel by land from Abuja to Badagry (for Buhari) and Kog (for Osinbajo), where they will await their helicopters.

Until we all realize that PDP, APC, Atiku, Buhari and Osinbajo all think with the same brain, we are going nowhere.

I hear you

But why?

Okay

Nigeria is cursed

Also expecting to get reports as to why the VP and his entourage, didn't use the Choppers available to the presidency.

The company claimed it was due to bad weather. if this investigation reveal something else the company must be punished

I am an unrepentant APC member, but even I is beginning to suspect foul play. There are people who have eyes on 2023, I won't be surprised if they want to eliminate their perceived threat.

Cc: Bola Tinubu (YES, I said it.)

What is the rationale behind the presidency allowing or forcing the VP to go for public function in a chartered Helicopter service while there is a battery of aircraft's in the presidential fleet?

Or is the government saying most of the planes in the fleet are not serviceable despite all the billions being budgeted yearly for them?

Are there no more than what the eyes can see in this ugly development given that another aircraft conveying same VP Osinbajo last year failed to take off that he have to abort his flight? What is going on in this govt?

Good
